The nose is dark and brooding, with aromas of pine, camphor, blue berry, and black pepper. The palate mirrors the blue fruit tones of the nose, with bright acidity and sinewy, framing tannins.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Lewman Vineyard comes from organically farmed Pommard clone vines planted in 1992 near the Justice and Zena Crown vineyards. It has a medium ruby color and slowly opening aromas of dried cranberries and red cherries, pipe tobacco, iron and tea leaves, continuing to unfurl further aromatic nuances as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is harmoniously structured and supple, offering a seamless, powdery mouthfeel and a flood of deep red fruit. It has mind-boggling flavor-to-weight ratio, tremendous detail and length and is a great candidate for extended cellaring. Gorgeous!

 

 

Deeply structured yet light on its feet, with cherry and blueberry flavors paired with accents of fresh earth and dusky spices. Builds tension toward finegrained tannins. Drink now through 2031. -T.F.
